Senior (level 2/3) Early Childhood Teacher (ECT)

This is a role for an experienced teacher, not a first appointment. We are seeking a competent, engaged Early Childhood Teacher — operating at Level 2 or 3 of the Educational Services (Teachers) Award — to lead one of our learning spaces at Majura Park (Canberra Airport).

The room itself is a calm, quiet space to work in — well staffed, with great families and engaged, interesting children — and you will be backed by hands‑on centre leadership and a management team that responds when you need something. What we are asking of you is genuine room leadership: setting the standard of practice, developing the educators around you, and making the room yours. If you are the kind of teacher who wants a real mandate to lead — with the authority and the support to match — this is that role.

About us

Majura Park Has been operating since 2009 - We are a long-established, family-owned Canberra company inspired by a Reggio Emilia approach. Our philosophy is simple: when teams are properly supported, children receive quality early learning outcomes. We back that with:

- Staffing above required ratios — every day, not just on good days.

- Conditions and remuneration significantly above the Award.

- A genuine professional learning culture , including our in-house Reflective Educator Series.

- Stable, long‑tenured teams who work collaboratively and support one another.

- Responsive management — decisions and answers come quickly.

The role

As Preschool Room Leader you will:

- Design and deliver a rich, play‑based educational program grounded in the EYLF and responsive to children’s emerging interests.

- Know each child as an individual — their routines, dispositions and learning trajectories — and plan intentionally for them.

- Lead, coach and mentor your room team,



setting the professional standard through your own practice.

- Build strong, trusting partnerships with families, communicating each child’s learning and progress with warmth and substance.

- Contribute to the centre’s quality improvement work and preschool outcomes planning.

- Champion and model a child safe culture in everything you do.

- Demonstrated ability to lead, coach and collaborate with a capable, motivated team

- Excellent written and verbal communication with families and colleagues

- Deep commitment to child safety and to creating environments where children thrive

- Warmth, curiosity and genuine enjoyment of teaching alongside children
